To a beginner the world of options can be very complicated with a lot of moving parts. There are numerous terms to become aware of and if you focus too much on trying to learn exactly what every term means then your head might spin and you might end up walking away from options trading all together. That’s why we tried to simplify things in our course compared to what you’ll find in other options trading courses.

It’s important to focus on the big picture and the overall concept with options, rather than focusing too hard on what every single term means. Each term is a piece that completes the overall puzzle but it’s more important to see how the big picture comes together when trading options, this is key with being successful with trading options!

The puzzle pieces will come together the more that you focus on the overall concept with options and get through learning all the terminology.

OPTIONS TRADING COURSE

1) WHAT ARE OPTIONS

The concept of options can be very confusing because they have a lot of moving parts and there are many different options strategies. It’s important to focus on the basics first before moving into the advanced strategies. In our video you’ll receive a simplified definition on options, learn about the concept of options as a whole, and also see what a basic options chain looks like.

2) WHY TRADE OPTIONS

There are two main reasons why people trade options. #1 is for speculation. #2 is for hedging. The most popular reason is for speculation because with options you’re able to make money in any type of market, whether the market is up or down. In our options trading course video you’ll learn more about these two strategies and how you can implement which strategy is best for you.

3) HOW OPTIONS WORK

As discussed above, the world of options can be extremely overwhelming. There are a ton of options trading strategies as well as a bunch of components that make up options. In the following video you’ll learn the simple breakdown of how options work.

4) CALLS AND PUTS

There are two main concepts to buying options. Calls and puts. Purchasing a call means that you believe that the price of the stock is going up. Purchasing a put means that you believe the price of the stock is going down. Learn about the simple differences between the two in our video and how to choose when to buy a call vs. a put.

OPTIONS TRADING COURSE – INTRINSIC VALUE

5) INTRINSIC VALUE

Options intrinsic value is the in the money portion of the options contract premium. Intrinsic value is only one part of the options contract though. In our video you’ll learn more about the meaning of intrinsic value and how it plays a vital role in an options contract.

6) EXTRINSIC VALUE

In our video you’ll learn more about the meaning of extrinsic value and how it also plays a vital role in an options contract. Here’s a hint though…It’s the main reason why many people believe that options are more risky than purchasing shares of a stock.

7) TIME VALUE

There’s a saying with options that time isn’t on your side. This is very true when purchasing an options contract. Options aren’t meant to be purchased and held long term unless the option continuously goes in your favor, which is extremely rare because stocks go up and down on a continuous basis. Our video will help you avoid the pitfalls that many options traders fall into. Here’s a hint though…always take your profits. You can always purchase another options contract.

8) STRIKE PRICE

An options strike price is the price at which a specific derivative contract can be exercised. Remember though…there’s no obligation for you to exercise your option contract. You could always sell your contract to another buyer. It’s important to always chart your stock and choose your strike price wisely. Our options trading course video will show you were to find the strike prices on an options chain.

9) AT THE MONEY

At the money means that an options strike price is identical to the price of the underlying security. ATM is one of the three terms that describe the relationship between an option’s strike price and the underlying security’s price. The other two terms are in the money and out of the money. In our video you’ll see an example of where to find at the money on an options chain.

10) IN THE MONEY

In the money means that an option’s strike price is below the market price of the security or that the put price is above the market price of the security. It means that your options contract has value and you can exercise it or sell it to someone else. In our video you’ll see an example of where to find in the money on an options chain.

HOW TO TRADE OPTIONS FOR BEGINNERS

11) OUT OF THE MONEY

Out of the money describes a call option that has a strike price that is above the price of the security or a put option that has a strike price that is below the price of the security. OOM options have no intrinsic value. In our video you’ll see an example of where to find out of the money on an options chain.

12) OPEN INTEREST AND VOLUME

Open interest is the amount of open options contracts and volume is the amount of contracts traded within a given period of time. OI and volume can be very helpful when choosing what options contract to buy. They are just one of many factors to look for though. It’s very important to always chart your stock, and look at any news that’s been released. Our video will show you where to locate open interest and volume on an options chain.

13) IMPLIED VOLATILITY

Implied volatility is the estimated volatility of the stocks price. IV is one of the most important factors in deciding the price of an options contract. Options that have a higher premium tend to have higher volatility. In our video you’ll learn more about implied volatility and where to locate it on an options chain.

14) OPTION CHAINS

Options chains have many different moving parts such as the stock symbol, range, type, expiration date, last price, bid and ask price, volume, and option interest. Each part plays a roll when purchasing your options contract. Our video tutorial will walk you through the simple process on how to read an options chain.

15) HOW TO PLACE AN OPTIONS TRADE

Now it’s time to put the above videos into action. In our options trading course video we will walk you through step by step on how purchase and sell an options contract.

BULLISH BEARS REVIEWS

I learned so much with bullish bears so far. The knowledge I have gained through this community is far beyond...read more my initial expectations. In fact, there was so much FREE information that I had to slow wayyyy down to be able to actually absorb what I was/am learning. They are actually part of the community. Dan, Tim and Lucien actually engage with us and help in any way they can, unlike a lot of Facebook communities that give generic responses to everything. They are unbiased with the information and never try to pump stocks. The $10 a month membership (if you get in before feb 15) is a huge bargain for the wealth of knowledge and ability to grow— not to mention the many tools available— and definitely beats out most other communities pound for pound. I would highly suggest getting in while you still can for the price and grow with us!
